1. What are EDIFACT based adapters?

A better term would be adapters for EDI messages. SAP doesnt provide any standard adapters for the same. There are 3rd party vendors who supply EDI adapters and one of them is Seeburger. You can also use Conversion agent to read/write EDI messages.

2. Are these also called as free ware adapters? Please name some freeware adapters

As far as i am aware there are no adapters called freeware adapters

3. Is EDIFACT itself an adapter?

No EDIFACT is a EDI message standard

Hi Ravi,

3. Is EDIFACT itself an adapter?

EDIFACT is a format of data EDI Document.

EDI supports many formats like ANSIX12, EDIFACT, etc..

The adapters used when dealing with EDI are Seeburger AS2 adapter.
